Am Bm Em (x4)
Am Bm Em (x4)

  Am      Bm       Em
The rise and the fall upon small mountain
  Am      Bm   Em
Was fair not for all in need
  Am    Bm    Em
And I with my life have gone
 Am      Bm   Em
Away from this land of gold

Am Bm


Em       C
Formed from the seed
      Bm        Em
Aligned for all that fortune brings
  C          Bm
And all that certain men lay
       Am    Em
Upon it when anger is seen

    C        Bm
And it reigns like the others
      Am   Em
Giving what all it can
     C       Bm
While the days count for nothing
       Am    Em
Nothing that one understands


     C     D      Em
Upon that road I had struggled to find
     C      D     Em
A way of life that was common for all
       C      D      Em
And all that runs on the mountain was mine
     C       D     Em
A way of life that will surely be gone


Am Bm Em (x3)
Am Bm


Em       C
Poor lands will grow
     Bm       Em
Among the weeds among the roads
  C          Bm
And all are anxious for song and dance
     Am      Em
That will sometimes get old

    C        Bm
And it reigns like the others
      Am   Em
Giving what all it can
     C       Bm
While the days count for nothing
       Am    Em
Nothing that one understands


     C     D      Em
Upon that road I had struggled to find
     C      D     Em
A way of life that was common for all
       C      D      Em
And all that runs on the mountain was mine
     C       D     Em
A way of life that will surely be gone
